<description><![CDATA[The Hausa faculty of Boston University's African Language Program created the Niger Artisans Project to provide students with a video-based intermediate/advanced Hausa course linked to artisanry in the Republic of Niger. Since 1987 when BUâ€™s first group of study abroad students went to Niger, BU students have been linked to the National Museum of Niger in Niamey where many acquired skills in artisanry by serving apprenticeships to some of Nigerâ€™s most famous artisans. This video course was designed to train students to be conversant in the culture and linguistics of artisanry in the Hausa language.  As the project unfolded, the candid conversations with the artists often brought out topics related to modernity, tradition, and a changing economy. The final product is twelve in-depth profiles of Nigerien artisans ranging from silversmiths to fashion designers, each accompanied by transcripts in both Latin and Ajami script. This video features Abdulwahid Gumar, a weaver at the National Museum in Niamey.

<description><![CDATA[For Jayna Mikolaitis (CFA’22), juggling a double major in painting and graphic design wasn’t quite enough. She expanded her creative practice to include book making and weaving, the latter of which led to a summer of arts-based research with art education professor Felice Amato following her junior year.

“Weaving kind of incorporated that structural quality that graphic design has, but also had that tangible aspect that painting has,” Jayna says, “I think that being part of a larger research university is incredibly helpful for so many reasons. It did supply me the opportunity with conducting arts-based research in the first place, which was really wonderful.”
